Will Occupiers Get Their Violent Chicago Riot?

Occupy Wall Street, and the satellite protests it spawned in cities across the U.S. and around the world have been spectacularly violent. Radical activists are responsible for hundreds crimes, including assault, gang rape, arson, rioting, robbery, and a host of others.

Adbusters Media Foundation of Vancouver, Canada, the nonprofit behind the so-called anti-consumerist magazine, has received funding from organizations associated with radical philanthropist George Soros’s Democracy Alliance, a donor collaborative that wants to push America even farther left. The foundation has received $176,500 since 2001 from the Glaser Progress Foundation, which was created by Alliance member Rob Glaser. Glaser heads the online multimedia company RealNetworks.

The Adbusters Media Foundation has also taken in $317,773 from the Tides Foundation since 2001. Tides was created by Drummond Pike, a close friend of ACORN founder Wade Rathke. Rathke was a longtime member of the Tides board of directors. When it was revealed in 2008 that Rathke’s brother Dale had embezzled nearly a million dollars from ACORN, Pike tried to squelch the scandal by writing a six-figure check to cover the perpetrator’s remaining restitution payments.

In anticipation of the May protests Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, himself a radical Saul Alinsky-inspired thug, has increased fines for resisting a police officer.

Longtime Chicago activist Don Rose was undeterred. “The more pugnacious the city gets, the more provocative it becomes.”

Matthew Vadum is an award-winning investigative reporter and the author of the book, "Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts Are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers."

Why do you say 'Democratic Party'. Shouldn't it be 'Democrat Party'?

Stephen_Brady

I'll vote for that! Besides, it irritates the DEMs and causes them to say and do things which show who they really are.

A class action civil suit should be filed against Adbusters and Soros for 7 wrongful deaths, millions of property damage, loss due to assault, loss due to extortion, loss due to terroristic threats, loss due to defamation and punitive damages for promoting repeated crimes like unauthorized electronic access creating loss.

Sounds like a textbook definition of a Racketeering Enterprise engaging in a Pattern of Racketeering under the RICO statute, doesn't it? Of course, we'll need a new U.S. A.G. to pursue that, since the current one is one of the racketeers himself.

MICHAEL MORGAN

Outstanding suggestion! It's about time they get a taste of the legal system. They think nothing of trying to bankrupt businesses with their lawsuits, time to let them get a taste of their own medicine.

joy52

Ghandi was non-violent. Don't they teach that anymore? I just hope if they demo in Chicago somebody will do ads with clips of Obama, etc. supporting OWS.

The term "Day of Rage" as used by the Occupy movement does not come from the 1968 Chicago protests; it is a translation of an Arabic term (another version is "Day of Anger") and comes from the Arab Spring protests. There have been "Days of Rage" in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Iraq, etc.

marbiesblog

Just curious. How do you know this? Is there someplace on the net where we can read about that?

Phil

Anti-American? Like, anti-free speech, anti-freedom of assembly, anti-right to petition the government for grievances, anti-right to a fair trial… which version of the Constitution are you working from?

Rioters? Which section of "non-violent protest" do you not understand? So you believe that the massive wealth attenuation in the hands of a psychopathic financial elite while one out of seven children in America suffer food insecurity is "American?" Sounds like you are the enemy of your country, not the Occupy movement. Watch "Inside Job" and have a rethink, Mr "I write inflammatory, hatemongering non-sensical" articles.

mrbean

The idea was to create Occupy in order to give the MSM the cover they desired to spend every single day up until the election talking about greed and income inequality in order to blame both for the stagnant economy. The hope was that by repeating this message incessantly, enough voters could be convinced that Wall Street, and by extension, evil Republicans, were to blame for our chronic unemployment, record deficits, and stillborn economic growth. President Obama who? Fortunately for America, this plan has not only failed miserably it has backfired completely. Thanks to the rise of New Media and our unwillingness to let the MSM’s lies, bias, and cover ups stand for even one more day, Occupy is in its death throes and might take the President and Democratic party down with it. First and foremost, we uncovered the lie that Occupy was grassroots and then we exposed every Occupy rape, poop, death, overdose, old woman thrown down the stairs, attack on a police officer, and public act of masturbation. In the process, public opinion turned against the Occupiers and as a result these Leftists have started doing what the Left always does when they lose … have a tantrum:

BS77

Non Violent Protest? You must be joking. These Occupy goons are all about violence. You are one of those brainwashed idiots who think OCCUPY is all about justice, fairness, and economic opportunity. Occupy is about vandalism, rioting, carousing and burning garbage dumpsters.

William

God, you people. You simply won't be happy until this nation is gone. The Left has been trying to destroy the country since the 1960s and the "worst-est generation." You people are disgusting and sicken me. Can't wait for Civil War Part two.

Josh

Ummm. The Constitution guarantees the right to PEACEABLY assemble, not riot in the streets and create chaos. Read the Constitution before you go spouting off truncated versions that twist the meaning, ProgTard.

nightspore

What part of the photo shown above do you not understand?

Rifleman

They don’t have a right to block traffic, impede people going about their business, or deprive residents the use of their public and private spaces. Flea baggers don’t hesitate to violate the rights of others, why should anybody care about theirs?

What part of peaceful days of rage don’t I understand? Are you serious?

Sure, keeping what you earn and deciding for yourself how much is enough is American, and so is paying for your own mistakes. Obsessing over the property of others is psychopathic, and why wouldn’t your calling someone else psycho make you “hatemongering,” yourself?

guest

phil, if you lose your job you can get one cleaning up the feces and other filth the fleabag occupiers leave behind when they get the heave ho from the parks they squat in – or you can comfort the rape victims at OWS events, etc

Asher

There is nothing Democratic about OWS..They are about tyranny and collapsing the system…There is nothing positive or beneficial about this movement…It is destroying Free civilizations! Destruction of property and lives is not going to win the argument!

whitehunter

Rioting and arson aren't speech; they're felonies. And the only "version" of the Constitution I've ever seen protects "…the right of the people PEACEABLY to assemble, and to PETITION the government for a redress of grievances," neither of which describes the actions of these violent anarchists.

What "version" of the Constitution are you reading? Or is your sneering mendacity simply the typically venomous hatespeech of the Obammunist Left? If these terrorists carry out their threat, the only satisfaction I'll feel is that Rahm Emanuel and his fellow-travelers will be reaping exactly what they've sown.

This guy is an award winning journalist? I've seen higher quality journalism in middle school newspapers.

Phil

What was the journalist award? A chocolate medal? Interesting viewpoint kid, now grow some empathy for people outside of your immediate socio-economic group, drop the hate speech, and work on balanced reporting. *pats head*

trickyblain

If comically tiny Matt Vadum's economic group is reflective of his income from writing/"commentating," he is in the lower bowels of the 99 percent. Maybe he is subsidized by Mom and Dad.

Occupy Wall Street doesn't want a riot. You do.

Stephen_Brady

I lived through the 1968 riots. I know the face of the Left, when I see it …

Yeah, a uber-Leftist, judicial activist judge!! Has nothing to with rule of law!!

Jim

This same page today has an article on the ranking of various news papers through out the world for honesty.

I can not believe the author is familiar with the movement or he just wants to be alarmist.

The trust worthy American Media has been reporting in the same manner as the author of this article.

It seems that the media wishes to keep the same corrupt political system best called "campaign bribery". If you wish to democratize congress but think Soros represents the movement then I ask what are your plans to combat the massive political corruption in to days congress. Why not start your own movement?

11bravo

" what are your plans to combat the massive political corruption in to days congress."
Start a grass roots movement, organize over the internet, have a rally in D.C. Then go out and elect people to make the change. TEA PARTY!! Not mob violence in the streets.

kafir

I *am* going to start my own movement. It's time for Barrack and Michelle to get dropped off for their swim in the oval office pool.

Brujo Blanco

It is very easy to “plan” a non-violent action that turns violent. OWS movements have been rife with violence and other criminal activity. Perhaps the next move will be a shot at open insurrection.

Roguewave

The article overlooked the massive backing of the Tides Foundation by another infamous One-Percenter, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.

11bravo

I just can't wait to see some socialists heads gettin cracked by some Chicago cops!! Should be some good fun. Their biggest mistake will be to think Rahm will NOT send in the cops; he will. I may even go down and watch the fun in person. Politically this will not play well for Obama; the GOP will "go Beck" and point out his links to the socialists.

Steve Chavez

CODE PINK advertised September 17 Day of Rage but after I put that out on several websites, as well as Peace Action, both fronts of the Communist Party USA, the page was removed to then make it appear that the Day of Rage was a leaderless and out-of-nowhere group. The CPUSA and its United for Peace and Justice did not mention the Day but Judith LeBlanc, a leader of United, co-heads Peace Action thereby linking the CPUSA to the breeding of this movement.

The "Audacity of Hope" Hamas Flotilla mission was also led by the likes of Medea Benjamin/Code Pink and its American organizer was Leslie Cagan, a TOP RANKING CPUSA MEMBER AND HEAD OF UNITED FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE. When the ship was stopped in Greece, its members then went to Athens to join the Greek protests organized by the Greek Communist Party. The CPUSA declared official "Solidarity with the Greek Communist Party" before the mission.

The goal of the CPUSA FOR DECADES is the overthrow of the United States and if you go to their online news, Peoplesworld.org, you will see that their talking points, and those of the Democrat Party, are the same. THE DEMOCRATS OWN OWS, A MOVEMENT CONCEIVED BY COMMUNISTS!

mlcblog

Nice work! expose the devils!!

Dispozadaburka

Is that Harry Reid holding the flag?

BS77

If you followed the sickening display of vandalism and infantile acting out in Oakland, you can see the true nature of OCCUPY…..it is a mob of losers and idiots bent on burning the flag, smashing windows, destroying property, hurling bottles and rocks at the police and counter protestors. Forget about Wall Street, "fairness" or getting entitlements….these morons want to disable our society .

tagalog

As to those "Days of Rage:" Can we who are angry about the ongoing trashing of our national, cultural, and constitutional values by the Occupy people and those they support vent OUR anger at the same time? That would be interesting…

BLJ

Let the idiots get violent. It just discredits them. They are just a bunch of loser anarchists.

Personally I would love a few of the sob's to try to get violent with me. Nothing would feel better than my Louisville Slugger meeting one of their empty heads. Lowlife scum.

flyingtiger

Days of Rage? This is sooo sixies! Can't they come up with some original idea? It is going to be violent, but for different reasons. In 1968Daley was upset that his fellow lifests were making him look bad in front of the TV cameras, so he sent the cops after them. Rahm, another lefty will get upset and send the goons after them.
You can see this a mile coming. Like the song says, "When will they ever learn?"

Stephen_Brady

"In anticipation of the May protests Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, himself a radical Saul Alinsky-inspired thug, has increased fines for resisting a police officer."

Boy, that'll stop them …

WilliamJamesWard

The authorities will play this as in theatre but the rioters will go to far. I am unaware
of Chicago Police allowing attacks on their own. I would read the riot act to
the demonstrators if they so much as spit on a sidewalk. It may be that the day
for workhouses, prisons and chaingangs has found it's niche in Chicago.
William

Stephen_Brady

The CPD has a long-lived and well-earned reputation for toughness. However, this is not 1968, and the current Mayor would probably like to be in the riots, rather than trying to stop them. PC and racial politics also plays into this. I would like to see the Chicago Police make the city a place where radicals wouldn't dream of showing up. But with the current crowd of "city fathers"?

Chicago managed to get rid of one of its most famous and beloved radio talk show hosts … Mancow, a fellow who made the mistake of being a libertarian, on air … simply because he showed up at a Tea Party rally at the Daley Center.

I only wish that the city had the OLD Mayor Daley back …

mlcblog

Are you really saying a crooked thug is better? I think not.

Stephen_Brady

They're all thugs. The old Mayor Daley had a talent for keeping the peace. Now, with Rahm in "charge", all of the Left's crazies descending on the city, and 150 thousand gangbangers ruling the streets, I see little hope offered to the average people trying to live and work, in the city.

It's a one-party system, with all of the evils that go along with that.

WilliamJamesWard

I am mystefied by the poor choices of Chicago voters……………..William

Stephen_Brady

You and me both, brother …

Ruthlessma

Herd the bass-turds into stock trailers using stock prods & haul them out of town about 50 miles. Cut them loose and let them walk to wherever they want to continue their "movement".

Josh

MAybe we should organize a "National Defense Force Militia" to assist in keeping the peace. The occupoopers won't know what to do if they have to face an armed and angry citizenry.

trickyblain

Yes! You could call it the Volkssturm!

Stephen_Brady

I think you were referring to the Sturmabteilung. However, there are a lot of homosexuals around to lead it …

UCSPanther

The real question should be "Will OWS get its Kent State moment?"

claspur

Just mailed this article to a friend that drives into The Merc (CME Group)-to work every day to let him know I'll be going in with him on the 19th… if not earlier in the month. ;o)

AJCT

Maybe "papa obama" can visit his infantile occupiers when they vandalize Chicago and perhaps diaper them. Come on kids, grow up and get a job, be diligent and be a
productive adult in this country.

PAthena

The OCCUPY movement is one of would-be communist tyrants, who claim, like all tyrants, claim massive popular support – 99% – without any evidence. Any elected official can claim to represent his constituents, but the OCCUPY movement can claim to represent only its members and its funders, like George Soros.
They supposedly object to inequality of wealth – why? Steve Jobs earned millions, which I do not begrudge, nor do I begrudge Oprah Winfrey ("richest woman in America"), nor many others with wealthier than me. I do not even begrudge multibillionaire George "Moriarty" Soros his billions, only what he does with his billions, thinking he is omniscient, and funding. among other anti-democratic, tyrannical organizations like OCCUPY.
Like all communists, the OCCUPY people would want to enforce the so-called income "equality" – like Stalin, Mao, Kim Il Sung, Castro – to live in luxury themselves.

BS77

Occupy SUCKS. End of Story.

hammar

Even if the occupiers won the battle in Chicago, they wouldn't know what they won or what they lost….the whole movement of terror and rage is about trashing society at all costs esp. when they don't have to repay the damage….just like being at home with daddy footing the bill…poor liberal fanatic's crying over spilt milk….they think they are revolutionists..how sad.

trickyblain

There's a guy on the street corner where I work with a megaphone talking/yelling/shouting about "occupy." I can clearly hear him from the 14th floor of my building and we're all amused watching him and the folks crossing streets to avoid him. Thing is, though, he doesn't seem to be a Democrat at all. He doesn't seem to like ANYTHING about the federal gov't — Obama most of all.

WilliamJamesWard

14th floor? Please do not fall out of the window…………………..William

trickyblain

lol…I appreciate the concern, William.

WilliamJamesWard

Can't distinguish if it is one of my magnanimous moments or concern
that you might land on my megaphone, hard to tell…………….William

trickyblain

Hmmm…I doubt it was your megaphone. You don't strike me as a black communist who screams about social justice and equality. He was part of the occupy crowd, not railing against it. But there are some similarities b/t his message and the Tea Party…they both REALLY hate the federal gov't, just seem to disagree on why.

The OWS people, if they get their Chicago, don't know what they're in for. If they're lucky, they'll just get beat up a little, or maybe a little bloody. If they're unlucky, it could be much worse.

People don't remember that Mayor Daley, in 1968, ordered his police force to shoot to kill demonstrators. It was lucky that they didn't actually do that. Ask the people who were at Grant Park and Michigan and Balboa.

Truth

Democracy is the fraud of plutocracy. Fake, fake fake!
Kings, Lords, Presidents, Prime Ministers, the plutocracy rule by lies and deception. They would have you believe in some religion even the tooth fairy if that would work, just so they control the world. If no religion then there is always sports to occupy the masses thought processes.

http://cybergatis.blogspot.com cybergatis

no more protests–to direct action! "protest" sits too comfortably in the language of the repressive state power. the state does not listen. it only asserts its power, and power structure over﻿ all of us. to occupy is a good first step, but let's all keep going.
